5083-H32 aluminum is 5083 aluminum in the H32 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then stabilized, to a strength that is roughly a quarter of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H38). The graph barss on the material properties cards below compare 5083-H32 aluminum to: 5000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bars means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bars means it’s 50% of the highest, and so on.
5083 aluminum sheet application: Due to its strength and temperature characteristics, 5083 aluminum sheet is used in: pressure vessels truck, marine, underwater vehicles cryogenic equipment””
Aluminum 5083 is a non-heat treatable alloy known for its resistance to extreme environments, including seawater corrosion and industrial chemicals. While featuring limited machinability due to its exceptional strength, AL 5083 is the material of choice for marine and aquatic applications, and is typically used in shipbuilding. Other uses for this alloy include transportation applications such as rail, truck, and vehicle bodies, as well as pressure vessels and food processors.
